3ma18 dates are now confirmed: 18th May to 21st May 2018
Location: North Yorkshire, England

North Yorkshire is a non-metropolitan county (or shire county) and larger ceremonial county in England. It is located primarily in the region of Yorkshire and the Humber but partly in the region of North East England.
Created by the Local Government Act 1972, it covers an area of 8,654 square kilometres (3,341 sq mi), making it the largest county in England. The majority of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors lie within North Yorkshire's boundaries, and around 40% of the county is covered by National Parks. The largest towns are York (153,717), Middlesbrough (138,400), Harrogate (73,576) and Scarborough (61,749)

We are still negotiating with a number or hotels in the area and we'll soon announce accommodation and booking details. Watch this space!

This is good news :-* :)

Hopefully I can make for nearly all the day's

Had my apply for leave approved this morning  ;D 8) ::)

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊

This is my patch ;D. Some great roads around the Moors for you all to explore and if anyone needs some spares, nip into Walkers Garage in South Otterington. You could even visit RSD in Malton !!.

Typically I won't be there in either of my 131's as will have just moved house and the good lady will be about to drop our first child ::).

In my back yard as well.
I have no excuse not to pop along at some time.
Need any help, just ask.

Hi glad to see you have organised a tour of Yorkshire some great roads.Some of the route only 20 miles from me.Hopefully me and another couple of guys would like to meet up and join in for a couple of days.But I can’t pre book the hotel because I don’t know if the car will be done by then.Due to Been off work 14 weeks last year and paying for the respray money a bit tight.The same goes for the other guys who have just payed big money for there cars.Sorry for heart ace story but keep me posted. Thanks Tony (Denzel)

It will be great to see you . even for one day  or all or just a day visit ,your more than welcome even if the cars not ready ..

Near Leeds ok i will come.. :)

As Jason said, it'll be great to see you just for a day or for all 4 days. If you do decide to book the hotel, you should get the same deal (dinner, bed and breakfast at £45 per night in double/twin room or £60 for single occupancy) whether you book 1 night or 5 nights. And the hotel booking can be cancelled up to 48 hours before the start of the event.

Now also listed on Hagerty's Car Festival Booking  :D Details at https://carfestivalbooking.com/events/3ma18 (https://carfestivalbooking.com/events/3ma18)

It's a public album but you might need a Facebook account to view it.

Many many thanks to our organisers, all the attendees and last but not least our "visitors" for making these 4 (6) days such a wonderful and remarkable time !!
We enjoyed every second very much.  ;D 8) ;D
Start missing it already - and still such a long time to 2019  :'(

For some of the time in between I finally managed to upload some of our pictures we hope you'll enjoy  :)

If anyone else should come across the task to make a choice out of ~1.500 pics taken with 3 different cameras you might take this into consideration:
a) make sure none of it has a 23h date/time offset
b) x-check a) before merging the pictures into one folder and think 'auto-sort by date & time' + auto-renaming them was a clever idea
c) don't change your system for selection/scrapping while going through the data
d) don't do c) twice
e) create albums more often than once a year. Might help to realize providers changed their system & that album sizes might meanwhile be restricted to max. 500 elements
f) don't let yourself distract too much by annoying things like repairing your daily driver (clutch: springs broken)
g) don't do f) twice (ignition control unit)

Already looking forward to meet as many of you as possible next year  :D ::)

1500 pics !!!!!!! :o :o :o
  Forgot to ask about the wheel bearing ,did it last till you got home or did you change it ..
